The self-cultivation of the passer-by hero

"Hey, Komachi, where are we going?"

"Don't stop, run this way!"

"Okay, okay."

There was no time to think about why, so Takeya and Komachi went on a casual trip. Well, it was an escape.

I don’t know what Komachi was thinking. When he saw his boss, his first reaction was neither to say hello nor to explain his absence from work, but to turn around and run away. Looking at his proficiency, this was obviously not his first offense. What a shame for Shiki after so many years. Yingji did not sink you to the bottom of the Santu River.

"Shiki-sama, there is no ferry. It will take some time to come from the other side. We still have time."

Taking the lead in running away with familiarity, Komachi led Takeya back to the way of Nakaou from a road completely different from the one he came from, and what awaited them here were countless undead souls.

"Ah, it's Lord Death."

I don’t know whether it was because I had seen her before or because the undead had some special feeling for the God of Death. As soon as Komachi appeared, everyone’s eyes turned to her.

Seeing Komachi running up sweating profusely, a middle-aged man stepped forward and tried to ask:

"Um, Lord Death, when can we cross the river?"

"It's so noisy! Now is the time to talk about this!"

"Eh"

The middle-aged undead who was yelled at by Komachi fell into a daze. Komachi completely ignored the undead present and dragged Takeya, who was crying without tears, through the crowd and ran straight towards the Tomb of No Purpose. go.

Takeya, who was forcibly turned into an accomplice and dragged behind him, or rather dragged away, could only say "mmp" in his mind at this time, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Komachi's physique is really surprisingly strong. She ran for an unknown amount of time without slowing down, and she didn't even take a breath. Should she be called a god of death?

The scenery on both sides changed rapidly. Komachi, who had been running all the way out, did not put Takeya down until he was far away from the Santu River, and even reached the Wuyen Tomb, and sat down on the ground.

"Huh~"

She spoke easily, not knowing whether Komachi was breathing to catch her breath or whistling leisurely. She stretched her neck and looked behind her, but she didn't notice the pursuing soldiers with a happy smile on her lips.

"Haha, it seems that Master Shiki won't be able to find this place in a short time."

".Why do you look so happy?"

"Because I can legitimately be lazy."

Komachi smiled and imitated Takeya's behavior just now, pulling a weed from the roadside and holding it in his mouth:

"If she is not caught by Master Shiki the first time, it will be difficult for her to find us next."

"Hey, why?"

"No reason. Although Master Shiki is very powerful, she is not omnipotent. There are no clues or ways to track her. How will she find us? Don't worry, Takeya, we are safe."

Komachi looked very experienced, and Takeya breathed a sigh of relief because of his ease, but if he thought about it carefully, it was wrong!

"Hey! Komachi, why should I run away with you when I haven't done anything?"

"Huh? Huh? I said, Takeya, are you accusing me?"

Komachi asked, pointing to herself in disbelief.

"Isn't that of course!"

Wu Ye said angrily:

"You are the God of Death, I'm just an innocent passerby! Why do you include me for no reason!"

"Hey! I'm saving you! Find out if the situation is okay."

Komachi said angrily:

"Master Shiki is very serious. If she finds out that an undead soul has come to the other side, she will definitely be angry. Do you want to increase your sins after death for no reason?"

"Well, but wasn't it you who took me to Santu River?"

"Why didn't you say you wanted to go?"

"Would I want to go if you didn't invite me?"

"What a strong word!"

"Alright alright."

Blushing and waving his hands, Wu Ye, who knew he was in the wrong, quickly changed the topic:

"Then what should we do now? Keep hiding?"

"if not?"

Changing to a comfortable position and continuing to lean on, Komachi said leisurely:

"As you say, I might be able to go back in a while, so there's no need to worry. If I get caught, I will be severely lectured by Master Shiki."

"Well, then, I'm really sorry."

There is no harm without comparison. From this point of view, Takeya still feels a little sorry for Komachi, but Komachi himself doesn't seem to care very much.

"It's okay, it's always been like this."

She waved her hands nonchalantly, looking as leisurely as if she was on an outing.

"Even if you say so, if there is anything I can help with in the future, please feel free to come to me, although I may not be able to help."

"You? What can you do? If you want to repay me, try to be a good person and give me more ferry money after you die. In that case, wait! Someone is coming!"

The leisurely expression quickly faded, and Komachi turned over and jumped up, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Yes, is there someone? Could it be that Shiki Yingji is chasing us?"

Takeru was infected by the atmosphere and showed a serious expression, but Komachi shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"No, it shouldn't be Master Shiki. Master Shiki doesn't have such a terrifying aura."

As she spoke, her eyes glanced left and right, finally settling on the road ahead.

The plains near Muenzhong are mostly uneven, and from the angle, you can sometimes see a strange scene like a person's figure "rising" from the ground like when a ship approaches from a distance on the sea.

Following Komachi's gaze, I saw a green-haired girl in a red plaid skirt walking slowly towards here under the horizon.

"That's Kazumi, Youxiang!"

Seeing who came, even Komachi, who was nervous, couldn't help but gasp.

"Feng Jian Yuxiang?"

Smelling the identity of the person who came, Wu Ye's face couldn't help becoming more and more exciting. Speaking of yesterday's incident, it seemed that it hadn't been perfectly resolved.

"I didn't expect to meet like this."

"Eh? Are you Takeya?"

Hearing Takeya's words to himself, Komachi looked at him suspiciously. The matter has come to this point, and he has nothing to hide, so he can only confess:

"I'm sorry Komachi, I lied just now, but I'm actually from Gensokyo."

"Ah! Is that so?"

Komachi was slightly surprised, but it was just a surprise. After all, this trivial identity issue was innocuous at all. Compared with this, she cared more about Takeya's words just now.

"Wu Ye."

Can't help swallowing, Komachi's expression is very cautious, it seems that even the god of death has no confidence in facing the tyrant of flowers.

"Do you and Feng Jian Youxiang know each other?"

"Acquainted, and if you want to pursue it. The relationship between us is a bit delicate."

".Specifically?"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Ye tried to explain:

"I accidentally tricked her once, and she should have thought that I was really dead. What do you think would happen if she saw me like this 'alive' now?"

"."

"Oh, by the way, you and I are now accomplices, don't even think about slipping away alone."

As Takeya finished speaking, Komachi's eyes widened, and he spoke quietly after about three seconds:

". I probably didn't want to throw you into the Santu River just now."

"."
